1Opinion of the Court
INGRAHAM, Circuit Judge:
This case presents us with an important issue of first impression in this circuit— whether several publications, including the Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature and Index of Legal Periodicals, are periodicals as that term is used in 39 U.S.C. §§ 4351 and 4354 (1962), and are therefore entitled to second class mailing privileges.

Wilson Company (Wilson), and up until the initiation of these proceedings some had been accorded second class mailing privileges for almost eighty years.
